Overview
Case Blackwell returns from China to a chaotic pre-move broadcast featuring a Hype Train Eminem freestyle, a Munch & Crum debate over Trump’s Project 2025 cabinet that devolves into Crum admitting the Democratic Party has no beliefs, and a JD Vance interview where the VP-elect claims he’s hiding from cameras. The show fractures further when Case leaves for a work meeting, leaving Jeb to host a parade of body-horror tutorials while his dead father heckles from a wooden board. Garve’s Amongst the Web and Trip’s park broadcast — interrupted by Crum’s hostile takeover attempt — round out the night before Case signs off to raid Bruce Green.
